Veer was stunned. He hadn't expected Aarohi's reaction-her composed yet fiery response left him speechless. Any normal woman, he thought, would have screamed, called him a cheater, or at least created some dramatic scene. But Aarohi had flipped his expectations entirely. Her calm demeanor, followed by her bold proclamation, replayed in his mind like a whirlwind.

Before Veer could process what had just happened, Aarohi took a step back, letting go of his biceps. Folding her arms across her chest, she stood tall, her eyes blazing with fury.
